What a whirlwind these past 6 weeks have been.
So much travel — by train, by plane, by bus.
So many new countries.
So many hours pouring through possible hotels/guesthouses/rental apartments. (SO MANY!)
So many calls, texts, emails with leadership to determine the next moves.
Suffice to say, it’s been a lot.
There have been loads of good times, as well! We’ve enjoyed so many cups of coffee! Eaten many delicious pastries! Seen so many beautiful, old buildings! Played on so many playgrounds!
But we are extremely GRATEFUL to slow that pace and go HOME! That’s right! We thought returning to Kyrgyzstan would be a long shot, but through some pretty astounding events – we are able to go home!
And how appropriate that we end these “lenten wanderings” this particular holiday weekend!!
Like we’ve said before, we will probably still move countries for schooling later on. But at least we’ll get to move on our schedule. We’ll get to pack all our stuff calmly and bring it all with us! And we’ll get to know where we’ll be landing before we get on the plane! Things that almost sound like a luxury these days!
For the families who have opened their homes to us, we are grateful. For friendly folks who patiently listened to and worked with our broken Russian, we are grateful. For those who have been lifting us up on this journey, we are grateful. For people who have helped us with the financial burden, we are grateful. For the opportunity to see old friends and make new friends, we are grateful. For the Father’s overwhelming providence through it all, we are truly grateful.
Yes, “Providence” was overwhelmingly the theme that wove through these past 6 weeks. It has been humbling to watch our Father at work.
This year has created in our hearts a new depth as we respond “He is risen, indeed!”
